Krysta Rodriguez Looks for Love, Laura Osnes Is a Worrywart & More Lessons of the Week

Rob McClure's fears, VaValisia LeKae's fashion and more make this week's headlines.

As the sun sets on another week of Broadway buzz, we look back on big stars and big news. From Carol Burnett’s texting habits to divas who really know how to plan, we’re spotlighting all the most memorable headlines. Read on below for this week’s educational recap.

Rob McClure Doesn’t Want an Invite to the Jellicle BallRob McClure bravely took on film icon Charlie Chaplin in a big Broadway musical—performing on a high wire, roller-skating and facing the New York critics. So what frightens this first-time Tony nominee? Grizzabella the Glamour Cat. McClure confessed that the long-running Cats was his first Broadway musical, and he remembers “being so scared of them.” Yeah, we were scared of them, too. Who wouldn't be frightened of those two terrifying words: "now" and "forever."

Forever Tango Really Means Forever
Speaking of eternity, it looks like the musical Forever Tango plans to keep up its seductive dance…well, forever. Luis Bravo’s Tony-nominated Latin revue returns to Broadway’s Walter Kerr Theatre this summer for a 10-week engagement. That's the show's third time on the Great White Way (it was here in 1997 and 2004). Though who can really complain? A rose in the teeth and a slit up to there will be in style now and certainly forever.

Laura Osnes Is a Princess PerfectionistCinderella fans aren’t the only ones eagerly awaiting the original Broadway cast recording of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical; the stars are also excited to finally hear their work, though some more than others. Headliner Laura Osnes confessed that she’ll skip ahead and listen to her big solo “In My Own Little Corner” first, “just to make sure it turned out OK.” Oh, Laura. It turns out "OK" eight times a week. Stop fretting and go back to being perfect.

Valisia LeKae Has Diva OCDValisia LeKae has scored a Tony nomination for playing one of music’s all-time greatest divas, Diana Ross, in the new musical Motown. And it turns out there are some fashion responsibilities in playing an icon like Miss Ross. But fear not, LeKae and her “Team Supreme” are up to the task; in fact, the actress revealed she plans out her outfits, “two weeks ahead of time.” We're pretty sure this is the key to world domination. Ain’t no mountain high enough!

Annaleigh Ashford Dreams of Fosse & Fellini’s Lovechild
Another leading lady who’s got it all figured out is Tony nominee Annaleigh Ashford. The Kinky Boots star told Broadway.com that she dreams of starring as Charity in a Sweet Charity production, “inspired by the Nights of Cabiria; that would be fierce.” First: Yes!! Second: The Bob Fosse conceived musical was inspired by Federico Fellini’s film, so nice research, Annaleigh. Third: Let's get a big spender to fund this, because it needs to happen.

Seth Numrich Has Performance Anxiety
Here's a non-problem: Seth Numrich is playing hustler Chance Wayne in Sweet Bird of Youth in London, and he has to seduce Sex and the City vixen Kim Cattrall. “The play is very much about how to use one’s body and the effect that has on other people…so you can imagine my anxiety at doing it in front of 1,000 people a night,” Numrich told us. Yes, Seth. We're imagining. #hot
